If you want to see something truly unique and passionate, sit back and watch the journey from the Txirbil (meaning ‘wood shaving’ in Euskera, the ancient language of the Basque lands) joinery to the Axalko wooden bicycle. It's the story of two professional wood craftsmen (who happen to also be brothers) and their obsession to make a lightweight, sturdy and beautiful bike frame for professional cyclists.

Using tubular fibers of wood and a micro-laminated finish, the result is impressive hand-work! The frame weighs between 1,4 and 2,3 kg depending on size. When asked about their innovative technique, Axalko’s creators simply answer that they have bridled a technology already found in nature. Thank you Maite F. for the tip!
